Hi Experts,
While trying to query nameserver using nslookup it is giving following error.
root@prod # nslookup 10.1.61.21
** server can't find 26.61.1.10.in-addr.arpa.: NXDOMAIN
root@prod #
(1)
/etc/hosts
10.1.61.2 prod
(2)I also added domain and namservers accordingly in /etc/resolv.conf
Apart from above two mentioned, are there any configurations that needs to made in order to resolve above error?
Thanks in Advance for your help!!
Sounds like you could possibly not have a reverse DNS pointer setup on your DNS server to match an IP Address to a hostname.
Odd that the IP address you give doesn't match that returned. Is ther returned address your DNS server perhaps? You may need a reverse entry for that too.
Can you confirm the content of /etc/netsvc.conf and /etc/resolv.conf or /etc/nsswitch.conf please (not sure which it is on Solaris), taking out anything company sensitive, naturally.

Thanks for the reply guys..
Yes,nslookup is returning different IP address than given and it is not even DNS server address.
Here is the content of the config files...

Please populate the /etc/resolv.conf with the ipaddress and the name and try it.
Hi,
/etc/resolv.conf is already populated with required IP address,I have removed those IPs in the above post as those IPs are company specific.
Thanks!!!
Per the online man page for "nslookup":
"query Internet name servers interactively" does not include searching /etc/hosts.
